Pre-Survey Consulting Services

Survey Results Communication

Draw on the expertise of TalentMap’s senior consultants to present and communicate high-level results to various audiences including your executive leadership team, board members, employees and other stakeholder groups.

Post-Survey Consulting & Action Planning Services

Numerous studies show a lack of survey follow-up is one of the biggest mistakes organizations make.

Do-It Yourself Workshops for Managers

TalentMap's half-day DIY Train-the-Trainer workshops bring together 10-20 HR managers and business partners to tackle a full agenda on how to interpret survey results and gain the know-how to develop effective action plans internally.

We liked the instrument; it was an easy-to-use online tool. City leaders were very impressed with the summary presentation. Overall, it was exceptional value for money. TalentMap is good if not better than larger, higher-profile competitors. We were impressed with the quality of service from start to finish.

The straightforward nature of the easily understood questions that allow for benchmark comparisons against organizations of similar size and industry, along with the professional support from staff have made our first experience with an externally-led survey very, very successful. I’ve been impressed by both TalentMap’s scientific and people-focused approach to employee engagement which has made it easy for us to connect issues and prioritize the actions we’ll take for ongoing improvement. We’re now on step 7 of TalentMap’s 7-Step Process for Ensuring Success and the entire staff of the City of Kent is working together to make our collective future even brighter than previously thought possible!

We used TalentMap to deploy our employee engagement survey and the entire process from beginning to end was seamless. We couldn't have asked for better support. Our project coordinator answered all of our questions in a timely manner and helped us to setup and deploy the survey within a surprisingly short time frame. The reporting tools that we had access to during the survey allowed us to provide in-depth updates at the executive level. Our summary presentations to interpret survey results were informative and easily digestible, which in turn made our job easier to interpret results to the entire organization. We would definitely recommend TalentMap to any organization seeking professional services with employee engagement matters!

This is now our 3rd year using TalentMap as our solution for Employee Engagement Surveys. The team at TalentMap is terrific from beginning to end and the project management team have always ensured that we feel supported both during and after the implementation process. The insights and analytics that the surveys have provided our organization are invaluable and have helped shape our engagement initiatives going forward.
